Chuck It seems that Pilot boats use horn signals and that Container ships trump all vessels.
Last evening during a Wednesday race with 30+ sailboats in varying classes in light winds the Pilot boat leaving the harbour stopped mid fleet turned backwards and repeatedly sounded their horn for a period of minutes. Have never seen that before. I suspect is also not the last we will hear of this. I doubt the pilot boat or ship would have had any patience with stand up paddle boarders either as we clearly know who is on the top of the heap in ROW discussions!

What I learned from 35 years of observation is; nobody uses horn signals or flag signals and lawyers have the right of way, so never invoke right of way unless you are racing, always take steps to avoid collisions early, and don't ever hit a lawyer.

Perhaps it's time to read Chapman's "Piloting, Seamanship and Small Boat Handling". The pecking order is: rowboats (including kayaks, canoes, paddle boards), sailboats, powerboats. Then there are exceptions: tug pulling a barge moves up the pecking order; overtaking boat moves down the pecking order and I'm sure there are more.
